Not long ago, my brother built a four-storey apartment block. Weve moved into it. We often take a walk around the Hongcheng Lake. With a soft wind blowing from the lake, we feel very comfortable to live there. But recently, we find that the lake has been polluted so badly that the water begins to smell. People say the fish are too dangerous to eat. Worse still, the new buildings on the small island will add more pollution. What a nuisance! I hope the government will do something to stop the pollution so that people can have a nice environment to live in.
